neilmac May 4, 2018:
My 2 cents It could also be "hose clamps", as Clare suggests. However, Matt says it's from a list of items, so there probably isn't much more context to go on. So, unless it's possible to ask the client or author exactly what they mean, I'm happy to stick with my "ties", which are more likely to have an applicator than clamps IMHO. And (pax phil) I don't think I need Spanish references to back up my guesswork. There are several types of "brida" available.
matt robinson (asker) May 3, 2018:
Yes, cable ties and applicator seems like a good bet. I guess they want the tubes to stay on. I haven't heard flange used in a laboratory context, but then again, we used wire clamps in my day.
philgoddard May 3, 2018:
If they have "tubos flexibles", then "brida" could be flange.

And bridadora could be flanger.

Then again, as phil says, it may be flanges, but I think the ties option is more likely.

agree neilmac : Tried to, but I got this:"This site can’t be reached https’s server IP address could not be found." But yes, it could be clamps. However, "ties" are also used for the same purpose.

Sadly, I can't seem to post a screen grab of the conversation but it seemed to be a conversation between linguists discussing "hose clamp" as an option when flexible tubes were being used and "flange" if the tubes were metal. Thanks
